Chapter 1200: The Problem of Staple Food

If you want to solve Meng Dazhi's fundamental problem, it seems that it is not possible to rely on others, and you have to find a way from Lin Xiao.

It's just that it is not so easy to get Lin Xiao to care about this matter.

"It's not easy to do......" Thinking of Lin Xiao's situation, Meng Dazhi couldn't help but sigh and said.

"What's the trouble going on?" The white-bearded old man listened, but he asked with a little curiosity, "With the Meng family's ability, it shouldn't be difficult to let a doctor concentrate on treating your illness, right?" Even if the other party is a big power, is it living in a vacuum? ”

In the view of Mr. Wang, the old man with the white beard, the power of the Meng family in the northwest is indeed very large, especially the political and business circles have a strong influence, although the old man Meng stopped at the vice provincial and ministerial level, but there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and some of them have even been cadres at the national level, and it should be very easy for him to do this.

"It's really hard to do, if there is a way, I don't need to ask you to come and help." Meng Dazhi shook his head a little bitterly and said.

If Lin Xiao was really a real doctor, then everything would be easy.

It's a pity that Lin Xiao is not a pure doctor, he treats diseases and saves people purely because of interest, ordinary people can't take his turn to treat at all, his real position is the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, a cadre at the deputy department level, and he is expected to be promoted to a department-level cadre in the short term.

Such a character is not something that the Meng family can support, not to mention that the background behind Lin Xiao is extremely deep, far from being comparable to the Meng family in the northwest, the Lin family in the capital, what level of character is that!

Although Mr. Meng does have a lot of friends and subordinates, and they are all more influential, but after all, they are not their own family, and they must be discounted when they do things.

Especially the power of the Lin family is too great, and the ordinary Zhengguo-level leaders are not enough to see at all, and there is really no way to directly get Lin Xiao to be a doctor for him.

The white-bearded old man looked at Old Man Meng and Meng Dazhi, and found that the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking, so he nodded and said, "In this case, then study and study again." ”

As a name, it must be the most basic means to look at what is heard, and the ability to observe words and colors is not worse than that of the officials, and the old man knows that this matter must be difficult to handle when he sees their expressions, otherwise, they would not be able to show such an embarrassed look.

In that case, there was no need for him to mention it again.

Of course, judging from the deep consideration of the white-bearded old man, he didn't think that he could see anything from the surface of the acupuncture, if that was the case, the famous doctor would be able to mass-produce.

The needles pierced on Meng Dazhi's body were just appearances, and only Lin Xiao himself knew what really worked.

However, these silver needles on Meng Dazhi's body were finally pulled out.

Since everyone can't study any famous names, it will have no effect on staying on Meng Dazhi's body.

Sure enough, although the silver needle was separated from the body, Meng Dazhi did not feel any uncomfortable feeling anymore, and it seemed that everyone's diagnosis of his unaccustomed nature was undoubtedly correct.

Just thinking of this consequence, the Meng family will feel a little depressed, after all, Meng Dazhi, who has been cultivated for many years and finally saw hope, suddenly fell to the clouds because of this problem of not adapting to the water and soil, and it is impossible to enter a higher political stage in the future, which is quite a serious blow to their Meng family, especially the blow to the old man Meng, it is impossible to express.

"Let's go home first, we'll take a long-term view of this matter." Old Man Meng said to Meng Dazhi.

Old Man Meng's care for Meng Dazhi has never changed.

Although Meng Dazhi also has a stubborn disease that is not adaptable to the soil and water, it is exactly the same as the original problem of Old Man Meng, but this makes Old Man Meng feel that in fact, Meng Dazhi is more like his successor.

Yes, the problem of not adapting to the water and soil does limit the opportunity for Mr. Meng to develop outward, and on this issue, Mr. Meng still can't let go.

So Meng Dazhi has become the best candidate for Old Man Meng to realize his political ideals, and now Meng Dazhi has the same problem, which has strengthened his confidence.

Since Meng Dazhi's problem of water and soil adaptation has a chance to be cured, then he must not give up this opportunity.

Even if he had to pay a relatively large price to Lin Xiao's side, Old Man Meng thought it was worth it.

It's just that Lin Xiao's side, what kind of conditions do you need to treat this matter as a big deal?

This question really stumped Old Man Meng.

"I didn't think about what to ......" Lin Xiao, who was in Mingzhu, was talking to Old Man Lin at this time.

"I don't know about you yet, if you don't take care of it, you'll be cured of someone's disease on the spot." Old Man Lin pointed at Lin Xiao with his finger and smiled, "I still know how capable you are." ”

"It's not that ......easy," Lin Xiao shook his head and said, "It's not advisable to waste my hard-won aura, after all, there are almost no aura resources on the earth now, and this market is priceless." ”

"Reiki? Could it really be such a thing? When Old Man Lin heard this, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

"What do you think?" Lin Xiao nodded and said, "If it weren't for this ghost, you wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and you wouldn't have been as good as a young man." ”

"In this way, we should be cautious, although we treat the disease and save people, but there is no reason to put our own interests in vain." When Old Man Lin heard Lin Xiao say this, he immediately nodded in agreement, "The Meng family is also quite influential in the northwest, although it is not a first-line big family, but it can also be called a local powerhouse, if you are willing to come up with something sincere enough, you can also consider doing a favor." But, either way, it depends on your own mood. ”

"It's not impossible to think about it." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

Old Man Lin drank a cup of tea, and then said to Lin Xiao, "You mentioned it this time, saying that you were interested in that potato?" ”

"Potatoes are the main food." Lin Xiao nodded and said, "The central government has this consideration now, and I think it's good after thinking about it for a while, so I have a little bit of concern about this matter." That Meng Dazhi seems to be more interested in this regard and has made some attempts, but it is not clear how it is. ”

Although Lin Xiao has some special channels in terms of intelligence, and he can quickly get a lot of information, this thing is not absolutely useful, at least when it comes to specific people's livelihood issues, the military's intelligence agency will definitely not come in handy.

If you want to find out how Meng Dazhi operates in the northwest, you need local people to understand, and you have to have more detailed information to see if he is bragging.

"It's a good thing, it's up to us to see if we can do it." After all, Mr. Lin is a figure who has been a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and naturally knows the importance of food to a country, so he is still more concerned about this matter.

Recently, there has been a lot of talk in the media about this matter.

Promoting potatoes to become a staple food on the table, and making potatoes gradually become the fourth largest staple food crop in China after rice, wheat and corn, has indeed aroused public concern.

In the context of the small space for increasing the yield of other staple crops, the increasing pressure on the ecological environment, and the unbalanced nutrition of consumers, it is necessary to upgrade potatoes to staple foods.

"At present, potatoes are regarded as vegetables in many places, although they have been recognized as food crops by the Ministry of Agriculture, and are the fourth largest food crops in China after rice, wheat and corn, but they have not risen to the status of staple food." Lin Xiao said, "China has indeed attached importance to wheat, rice and other food rations for a long time, while ignoring other food crops such as corn and potatoes, and the connotation of food security also includes the diversity of food structure, and the role of potatoes should be further played." ”

Mr. Lin nodded, he knew very well that the status of staple food and non-staple food is completely different, becoming a staple food crop, in the industry will enjoy more support, preferential policies, in scientific research, there are also a large number of project funds invested in the development of new varieties and other research.

At present, from the national team to the local team, the research and development of potatoes is very weak, and the research of wheat and other crops is the key scientific research object, and it is easy to get the project, but in comparison, the project and investment in potato research and development are far from enough.

There are still poor areas in the northwest and other regions that use potatoes as a staple food, but for most places, especially in economically developed areas, potatoes are more used for cooking or leisure food.

However, the staple food of potatoes does not mean that it will become the main fresh food for people, but more in processed products, the most prominent embodiment is the whole flour and starch made from potatoes, which are used to make steamed buns, noodles and other processed foods.

"At present, the average yield of corn, rice and wheat has exceeded the world average, but because of the limited arable land area, there is little room to increase production, and it is difficult to increase production." Lin Xiao said, "For potatoes, the average national yield is lower than the world level, which is one-half to one-third of the level of developed countries, and China's per capita consumption of potatoes is only 14 kilograms, far lower than that of developed countries." Potatoes still have great potential to increase yield, as long as we increase investment in technology, varieties and funds, we can achieve a greater increase in yield without increasing the area of cultivated land. ”

"Any specific data?" Old Man Lin asked.

"If calculated by dry matter production, the yield of potatoes can be higher than that of corn and wheat, such as Jiaodong, where the highest yield of wheat reached more than 800 kilograms per mu last year, and after conversion with dry matter output, the unit yield of potatoes can reach more than 1,000 kilograms." Lin Xiao replied.

"This is a very high increase in production...... Old Man Lin couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard it.

"Of course, there are very few processed potatoes at the moment, and they are more expensive. For example, in terms of starch, the price of potato starch is twice that of ordinary corn starch, and processed staple foods such as steamed bread and noodles are basically made from wheat and corn. Lin Xiao explained, "For potato processors, there is a problem of high raw material costs, which is related to many factors such as the storage of fresh potatoes due to time constraints. ”
